Maya World Cleared To Return At AEW WrestleDream 2026

Maya World appeared as a guest on the 2026 AEW WrestleDream Buy-In show hosted by Renee Paquette, Jeff Jarrett, and RJ City. During the pre-show appearance World announced she is officially cleared to wrestle. She told the hosts she is feeling amazing and is excited to be back in the ring.

World had been sidelined since early September after undergoing a procedure unrelated to any in-ring injury. World previously held the TBS Championship for 35 days before losing the title to Persephone on the AEW All In Buy-In with assistance from a returning Britt Baker.

At WrestleDream Persephone defended the TBS Championship in a four-way match against Queen Aminata, Dani Luna, and Hyan, who has frequently teamed with World over the last year. Mercedes Mone retained the AEW Women's Championship on the card by defeating Thekla.

After her Buy-In segment World posted on social media, "Who watched me on the WrestleDream Buy In? it's giving the IT GIRL is CLEARED TO WRESTLE." The timing and location of her official in-ring return have not been announced.
